The PC Portable is a stylish dimmable, portable lamp suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its freestanding nature and strong footing allow it to perch safely on tables, shelves, illuminating cubbies and dark corners all around your space. It works wonders as a nightlight too. We use them in-store to light up shelves, displays and shady corners - pop in to check them out.
Designed for HAY by Pierre Charpin and constructed in robust plastic and featuring a matte scratch- and water- resistant finish, its battery-powered design gives the freedom and flexibility to move it anywhere and recharge by USB.
The light source is hidden from view by a polycarbonate diffuser, available with both downlight and ambient output options, depending on the desired use.

About the designer
Trained as an artist, Pierre Charpin has devoted himself to furniture and object design since the early 1990s. His approach to design is strongly influenced by his artistic background. Pierre’s research on form and colour characterise his work and can be seen in both, limited edition products and industrial products like the PC lamp. The use of a simple vocabulary and elementary forms is a constant aspect in his work, as well as the desire to offer sensual objects. Drawing, which he practices as a starting point for his designs, is an essential part of his creative process. Pierre Charpin's pieces have been included in exhibitions around the world and are held in many museum collections. He was elected Designer of the Year 2017 at Maison & Objet. He lives and works in Paris.
